Hi all,

I have a very old 'Photo of my Grandparents but it is stuck (in one small area) to the glass of the frame. I would like to remove it from the glass and get it retouched; I have tried soaking it in plain water with a tiny drop of fairy wash-up for 48 hours but no joy.
Got any ideas please?
You guy's always come up with the goods when I have a querie but I fear I may be unlucky this time
Best Regards, Larry.

All the gear & no idea.

I usually photograph it through the glass instead of removing the original if it is stuck to the glass.
Put down your scanner and pick up your camera.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

You could use a polariser to eliminate relections from the surfaces of the glass.
Best regards, John
